Hartford Man Sentenced For Dealing Fentanyl: Feds

HARTFORD, CT — A Hartford man was sentenced to 18 months in prison for selling fentanyl, according to a statement from Leonard C Boyle, Acting United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut. Jabari Walcott, aka "Jabari Walcott-Green," 23, will also serve three years of supervised release.

In the summer of 2020, Hartford Police learned that Kyle Pitts, aka “Bark,” and others, were selling fentanyl, and that Pitts was using his apartment on Farmington Avenue in West Hartford to store fentanyl.

Hartford Police and the FBI’s Northern Connecticut Gang Task Force made multiple controlled purchases of fentanyl from Pitts, Walcott, and Curon Johnson, aka “Buck,” of East Hartford, according to prosecutors.

Walcott has been in custody since his arrest on state charges in October 2020.

When he was arrested, police found he possessed distribution quantities of fentanyl and crack cocaine, a digital scale, and $1060.

Walcott pleaded guilty in June in federal court to one count of conspiracy to distribute, and to possess with intent to distribute, fentanyl.

Pitts and Johnson pleaded guilty to the same charge. Johnson was sentenced to 37 months of imprisonment. Pitts awaits sentencing.
